ONLY 10 SPOTS LEFT - and no Pro OPEN players again - so I guess the 2011 GSSS will be all AM and Pro Masters only. It's pretty sad when there are more Pro Masters than Open, and if you remove Georgia's Team from the mix - even more so.

No matter how much I pay out, or how much added goes to that division, no one wants to play in that division unless it's at the CRUCIBLE, or White Oak.

At least for the Series Finale at Central (which all the GA Pro Open guys hate) the out of state guys are willing to pony up for a chance to win 2 GRAND in CASH!

The temp hole was used last year as a replacement to the horrendous, but now changed Hole 2 - and now that Hole 2 from the concrete picnic table slab is now a decent Hole - it is back in play, but I still wanted the 1070 (was 1085) foot hole 11, so the temp hole is the filler instead of a long walk for pool 1 players and it became the 19th hole.

Anyone who wanted to play had 2 weeks to signup, so obviously the need for MORE spots wasn't an issue for this Event - maybe for the CRUCIBLE or Lake Russell 19 holes would be fine for 76 players, but no one was in a hurry to signup for Event 3.

Because IMO both placements are just inside the tree line.To next tee, both Pools turn right and cross the road for #8 tees, Pool 1 tees from flags near parking area<---Teepad correct? See below description for tee off area hole#8

Hole 8 570 / 245 ft Par 4 / 3Pool 1 tees from pad near parking area, Pool 2 tees from tee flags near road 200 feet ahead of Tee MANDO!! Must pass marked tree on LEFT. Drop zone is next to MANDO tree.<---Where exactly is the Mando tree? Is it far right near the creek or somewhere in the fairway, or is it near #9? I ask b/c the best landing zones on hole #8 (if obselete) would alter my shot selection.Road on left, path beyond basket and flagged string line before MANDO tree are OB.

Hole 10 350 ft Par 3Both Pools tee from tee area to a basket straight ahead near fence.<---Is this the short placement in front of the fence or the long placement that is just past the bench on the western side of the fence?

Hole 11 1010 / 400 ft Par 5 / 4Both Pools tee to a basket ahead and across the creek near the MAIN Park Entrance. <---Will this pin placement be the one closet to the creek or the one further away? To next tee, both Pools cross road to flags 100 ft left of tee post. <---Not the new teeing area correct? I only ask b/c the current teepad and basket position is much more safer than the original locations.

Hole 13 260 ft Par 3To next tee both Pools turn right, to tee flags to the right of original 14 tee area. <---Not the current concrete teepad correct? Sorry I keep asking about teeing areas I just want to make sure I practice the correct holes. How far right would the teeing area be from the current #14 pad?

Hole 14 375 ft Par 3Both pools tee to a basket to basket straight ahead near the pavilion.Road and beyond on left OR right is OB. Concrete around pavilion is OB.To next tee both Pools go straight ahead to the tee flags for #15, NOT the original tee area. <---I believe I am aware of the modified tee off area for #15. The same as last years correct?

Sorry for all the questions, it's just that this course is actually relatively close to my house. I want to make sure when I practice that I play the correct shots.

Hole Descriptions fixed and updated in top post.Mando tree on 8 is first tree on right next to creek where tree line starts on creek - basically keeps people from throwing hyzer over 9's fairway.Pin on 10 had to move because of settling of land.15 is same as last year with basket moved 6 feet right for erosion and land settling issues.

Keep in mind when these descriptions were written last year BEFORE concrete pads were put in and I changed distances and tee pads to account for the new stuff, but failed to update the next tee stuff.

Thanks for pointing it out so I could change it and I'll double check with Andrew, but I'm pretty sure the baskets are in Event positions, and if not i'll ask him to move them to Event positions so people can practice as we are less than 3 weeks away.

I also got confirmation Friday 4/16 from the head honcho at McCurry (Ms. Sheryl Lee) that we will have the same setup as the last 2 years with breakfast foods and fruits in the morning during check-in and Lunch as well as drinks and water provided FOR PURCHASE by the parks department (burgers, dogs, veggie items) along with the golf cart cruising around the course with snacks and drinks during the rounds - with ALL PROCEEDS benefitting the Special Olympics as it also did the last 2 years. The generous Disc Golfers in the last 2 years have raised more money for them than in some of their much larger attended events at the park. Please help out if you can by purchasing your breakfast and lunch at the park (giving you more time to practice) and support a GREAT cause while you are at it.

Sheryl is also working to possibly procure a news story about the Event with the same photographer that has been the the last 2 years.

Thanks again to Sheryl and her fine staff for all they have done to make McCurry Park and the Disc Golf course there the best it can be!

It's a good thing I will be there then. The quality of the photos should be much higher with my presence. Please thank Sheryl in advance for running the food action and it is a great cause to donate a little extra to if you can.

Go to 2nd traffic light (approximately 2 miles) and turn right on McDonough Road. Take the 1st driveway on the left and the soccer fields will be directly in front, softball & football fields will be the 2nd driveway. The picnic pavilion(and Disc Golf course entrance) is the 3rd driveway on the left.

I have taken the route above before but was wondering if anyone elese has taken the route where you stay on 75 South to Exit 221, then cut across on Jonesboro to McDonough Rd. Just wondering if there are a bunch of lights once I leave the highway to the park?

Once you are on McDonough Rd, there are only a few lights prior to the park. I count only 3 lights. 19/41, Lovejoy and then at County Line Rd. The light at County Line Rd is right by the park. You can turn right at that light onto McElroy Rd. and find parking on the left.

Thanks Slim....I may attempt a Sat AM practice round if I can get a good tee time and the green fees don't costs too much. I will probably walk instead of ride the course. I remember it to be pretty flat.

I'm coming down Tuesday Night after work and hope to be able to meet up with you and Wade to firm up everything for Saturday - should have gone there this weekend instead of US Masters, as crappy as I played.

Please PM a number to reach you at as all I have is one for your parents, or call me at 305-720-8422 so we can coordinate times.

Just back form prepping the course for SAT! Sheryl and her crew have mowed the majority of the course and it is looking great!

HUGE THANKS to Andrew Jenkins and Wade Selph for their assistance in trimming, flagging, and marking the course from basket to next tee, drop zones, pool 2 tees, etc..

All baskets and all tees for both pools are set for the Event if anyone is going to practice - with the exception of Hole A between 10 and 11 which is marked but of course will not have a basket until SAT morning.

Andrew also helped procure the sposorship of Anthony's Pizza which is about a mile from the course on Highway 54 for an AFTER Event get together where they'll have a special for Disc Golfers (slice of pizza and a bottomless soda for $4 - these are HUGE slices) - and they are also donating a $25 gift certificate for a lucky winner at Event #3.

So grab a bite to eat and hang out for a bit after your round and enjoy the quality food and comraderie after a day of Disc Golf at Anthony's Pizza.

Luckily that only affects the RETURN trip since it's NORTHBOUND they are working on - which gives everyone even more reasons to stay and enjoy Anthony's Pizza after the Event!

That is exactly why I posted that info but must have accidently cut the mention of ANTHONY'S PIZZA when I cut and pasted the link. Why would you want to sit in Hawks traffic when you could be having a slice at ANTHONY'S PIZZA which is about a mile from the course on Highway 54 for an AFTER Event get together where they'll have a special for Disc Golfers (slice of pizza and a bottomless soda for $4 - these are HUGE slices) - and they are also donating a $25 gift certificate for a lucky winner at Event #3

Thanks for another great event Keith and Johnson Crew. I haven't played McCurry in years and I thought the course looked great. Andrew and all of the other folks that have helped out have done a great job.
